But among the array of elegant suits and couture gowns, Phoebe finds a child's sky-blue coat--an item with which Mrs. Bell is stubbornly reluctant to part. As the two women become friends, Phoebe will learn the poignant tale of that little blue coat. And she will discover an astonishing connection between herself and Thérèse Bell--one that will help her heal the pain of her own past and allow her to love again. Praise for A Vintage Affair Romantic and sumptuous, this is a must for fans of vintage dresses and vintage romance.--Hester Browne, author of The Little Lady Agency This colorful new novel has something for everyone.
